What is Alpha?

Alpha is a low-pressure, fun and informative course. It is a place to relax, share your thoughts and explore the meaning of life. The course is designed primarily for people who don't go to church, but are interested in the Christian faith.

How Alpha began

The Alpha course began in the late 1970s at HTB as a means of helping new Christians learn more about the Christian faith.
In 1990, former barrister Nicky Gumbel realised the potential of the Alpha course to appeal to a wider audience, and adapted the course to make it inclusive for anyone interested in the Christian faith.

The growth of Alpha in the UK and worldwide

The Alpha course spread during the 1990s, initially in the UK and then internationally, as more and more churches and groups found it a helpful and informal way to discuss questions about the Christian faith.
There are now over 55,000 courses worldwide in 166 countries. Alpha is supported by all the major denominations.

Now you can find out for yourself!!

Alpha is starting on Wednesday 25th January 2012 at Caradoc Mission Community Church, Seaforth.  

The meetings run for approximately 2 hours and each session begins with a meal - giving everyone time to relax and get to know each other.  After the meal the course leaders will give a brief chat - on different aspects of the Christian faith - then there is an opportunity for discussion and questions.  

Alpha is an informal way to explore the Christian faith for yourself.  

The course will be led by Peter and Sue Austin, who have had a great deal of experience in running Alpha.

The meetings begin at 6.30 with refreshments.
